China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 14 Celebration, Golden Horse, Gift from Sister

The addition of CCTV movie channel gave "Uninvited Guests" a complete characterization.

A milestone at low cost!

When we talk about Chinese film history from now on, Guan Ling and "The Uninvited Guest" suddenly become unavoidable topics.

The Movie Channel did an exclusive interview on how Guan Ling came up with such a story. Guan Ling talked eloquently and was very confident.

"Director Guan is young and promising. I look forward to Director Guan continuing to contribute to the domestic film industry." A deputy director of the movie channel also came out to greet Guan Ling.

"I'm sure I'll do my best."

The host, Mr. Tu, also exchanged contact information with Guan Ling.

"Next year there will definitely be a celebration party for the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema. "Uninvited Guests" can be regarded as the first shot for this celebration."

Not long after he came out, Mr. Han called and wanted to hold a celebration party. Now that the movies have been released and the box office is so high, it would seem petty not to hold this celebration party.

"You can contact the creator yourself and come when the time comes." Mr. Han wanted to say something else, but he hesitated.

Guan Ling called Fan Wei and others and told them the time and place.

Fan Wei expressed congratulations on the movie's box office success over the phone, even though he had already done so several times.

Then he thanked Guan Ling again and again. His gratitude to Guan Ling came from the bottom of his heart. With this movie, he became an instant hit on the film platform. Many people no longer watch him as a sketch actor. Recently, many people have come to ask about his schedule. , it seems that there will be many drama appointments in the future.

When I contacted Dong Xuan, she was answered quickly.

After chatting about the celebration banquet, the other party decisively agreed.

At the end of the conversation, the other person suddenly lowered his voice.

"Junior brother, what should I do if I regret it~" He is a 26-seven person, and he even acted coquettishly on the phone.

"What do you regret?" Guan Ling smiled half-heartedly, pretending not to know anything.

"I suddenly want to fall in love again." Xuan Meiren was very direct, but she deliberately didn't say who she was with.

"Sister, the peach blossoms are actually blooming~" Guan Ling pretended to be surprised. "Who is Taohua?"

Dong Xuan is very angry. The peach blossom must have blossomed. Didn't you do it for her?Now he pretends not to be familiar with me. When he was in Chongqing, he wished he could grow up on himself.What a scumbag.

"Dududu..." Dong Xuan hung up immediately.

"Senior sister is a senior sister, how can she be compared to a junior sister?"

Guan Ling didn't care. It was a good experience to enjoy happiness together. Forget about falling in love, he was only 21 years old, and he still had at least 60 years of good youth.

When I returned to school, I met Wang Jinsong when I entered the school gate. Wang Jinsong was furious and said, "You boy, I asked you to pull out a banner for me to welcome the new year. You guy really pulled up a banner without showing your face. Do you still want me to invite you? Don’t you know that the admission time has been delayed? Did you put up a banner to welcome the air? "

"The admission date has been postponed?" Guan Ling was quite confused. He had been shopping around BJ City for the past ten days. When he had nothing to do, he would stare at the courtyard at home, wondering how to decorate it. He would lie on the old man's chair and enjoy the money. breath.

I really don’t care much about school affairs. I have arranged the banners with the school print shop in advance.

"The dormitories in the school are being renovated. School will not start until the day after the new students. If you don't come then, I will never finish it with you!"

When freshmen start school, they have to show their strength. If a famous student director stops here, he will be inferior to the one next door.

"Definitely!" Guan Ling remembered clearly now and hurriedly assured Wang Jinsong.

"It's your acquaintance."

That is to say, they are familiar with the class teacher, so they can talk like this. Now Guan Ling is very popular in the school. Some teachers even want to build a good relationship with Guan Ling so that they can get into Guan Ling's drama.

Guan Ling saw Huang Lei two days ago, and Huang Lei took the initiative to say hello.

After being married for more than a year, I heard that Huang Lei's wife was pregnant two days ago. During this time, Huang Lei has been running around at school and home.

In fact, Guan Ling admires Teacher Huang Lei quite a lot. Before getting married, she and Milk Tea had a heated argument. When Milk Tea held a concert in Shanghai, she even said in front of her fans: "A boy called me. As long as I If he doesn’t agree, he won’t get married! I didn’t agree.”

Singing and crying at the same time, Huang Lei got married within two days.And there was no wedding, just a random meal.

Now more than a year has passed, and it seems that Teacher Huang Lei has gone through that sad past.

But with such ease between the two women, how could Guan Ling be unconvinced.A teacher is a teacher and you have to learn from others.

I went to find Tian Zhuangzhuang again and invited him to the celebration banquet, and was taught by Teacher Tian.

The next day, he met Mr. Han and Han Zheng at the celebration banquet. To Guan Ling's surprise, the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also came, and they had nothing to do with them. He didn't know what they were celebrating.

"Director Guan, we meet again." Wang Zhonglei greeted.

"I happened to be discussing something with Director Han and the others in the afternoon. I heard that they were going to celebrate Director Guan, so my two brothers came to join in the fun and congratulate Director Guan on his first movie's box office exceeding 4000 million. You don't blame me for coming uninvited?"

"Of course not." Guan Ling said quickly.

Huayi has not made any big productions this year, and they are currently looking around for some projects. "The Night Banquet" won't be approved until next month, or even in November.

"Director Guan," after a few people exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Han suddenly asked Guan Ling, "What do you think of the current domestic blockbusters?"

Before this year, China Film Group had never had a domestic blockbuster of its own, so this year it went to great lengths to invite Poet Chen to spend a lot of money to create "The Promise." The Promise had already gone to Cannes in May this year to send out the trailer, which attracted a lot of attention. Some people paid attention, but the effect was not particularly good.

On the contrary, the unintentional "Uninvited Guest" brought six or seven times the profit to China Film, which made Mr. Han couldn't help but think.

Films produced with small and medium budgets can also promote the prosperity of domestic films as long as their appeal is high enough.This is what Mr. Han has been thinking recently.

Guan Ling was quite confused. He came here to celebrate, so why did he still take the exam?
But when Third Master asked, he had to answer. After thinking about it, Guan Ling said.

"From "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Seven Swords", the core of costume blockbusters is there, and the audience will reach the critical point of aesthetic fatigue sooner or later. The "bigness" of domestic blockbusters is a good thing, but we cannot blindly pursue "bigness" ", needed something newer."

Guan Ling considered what he said. In fact, every company now has a policy, which is big production, big director, big investment, and big actors. If Guan Ling is not careful with these words, he may offend people.

"What is this newer thing?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"Viewability?" Guan Ling said, "Or, excitement? In short, it cannot be completely 'big', and big production cannot be completely limited to ancient costumes. However, there is nothing wrong with big production itself, but it must not be Like some movies, it is a mix, mixed, and lacks storytelling. Why people are willing to watch American blockbusters is because they are diverse, including Fast and Furious, War of the Worlds, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, everything."

Guan Ling's words were sincere. Although the box office of "The Uninvited Guest" is not low in later generations, people in China have already experienced similar large-scale productions, so naturally they are not particularly cold about it.

That is to say, this movie is very novel now, and others gave it a chance, so it became popular.

Several bosses were lost in thought.

"The reason why Director Guan is so popular cannot be summed up by luck." Wang Zhonglei praised at the side.

I asked Guan Ling again if he had any plans for a new movie. Guan Lingdao had not thought of a script yet. There would definitely not be a new movie released this year, but he might make one if he had an idea.

"Director Han, do you mind if I, Huayi, also get a share of the pie?" Wang Zhonglei was more direct than his brother, "We can pay a premium."

What can Mr. Han say? "You have to ask Director Guan about this."

Guan Ling said with a smile: "I haven't thought about the script yet. It may still be a small cost. Let's talk about it later."

Without agreeing or rejecting, Han Sanye asked Guan Ling if he wanted to sign up for this year's Golden Horse Awards. He is now asking for registration, and the deadline is before the end of the month.

"I may not be able to win the award." Guan Ling said, "Then please ask Director Han to apply for me. I feel that there should be some nominations."

Guan Ling won't go looking for publicity for this movie, and he doesn't care about winning awards for the movie, but he can still participate. The movie has such a box office, so he doesn't go to a film festival, such as Jinyi Night Walk.

The banquet didn't end until after ten o'clock in the evening.

At the celebration banquet, Dong Xuan kept a cold face and smiled and greeted everyone else. When she arrived at Guan Ling's place, she pretended to turn a blind eye. Fan Wei noticed it, but pretended not to see it and left the driver behind. , saying that Guan Ling would ask the driver to help send people off if necessary.

"Goodbye, Director Guan."

After sending several bosses away, Fan Wei and others also withdrew.

Only Dong Xuan remained at the banquet. When everyone left, she seemed to be drunk, lying on the table, with her white onion-like arms exposed and hanging outside the table.

"Senior sister, wake up. Just now you were holding a red wine glass to find someone to drink with. Why did you lie down in ten seconds?"

"What's wrong with lying down? Can't you just lie down?" Dong Xuan stood up, "No one cares about me anyway."

"I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it, okay. Where is the assistant? I'll ask her to send it back to you." Guan Ling comforted.

"Man, what you say is all lies... You are clearly in charge, so why are you looking for my assistant? I didn't ask her to come today." Dong Xuan reached out to put her hand on Guan Ling's shoulder, "Take me away." .”

Finally, Guan Ling had no choice but to carry Dong Xuan out.

Fan Wei's driver was really waiting at the door: "Director Guan, wherever you want to go, I will take you there."

Doesn't this mean that Teacher Fan should be popular!This person, this life!It’s very six plus seven!

He wanted to take Dong Xuan back to her home, but she seemed to be really drunk and unresponsive. In the end, Guan Ling took Dong Xuan to his newly bought courtyard house.

During this period, although the courtyard had not yet been renovated externally, all the household items inside had been replaced from the inside out.

Just for emergencies.No, it’s used!
In a quaint room in the courtyard, Guan Ling put Dong Xuan on the bed.

"You're so thin, but you're still quite heavy!" Guan Ling was speechless. Although he was quite strong, the other party seemed to be messing with him on purpose, making him sweat profusely.

"Who are you talking about?" She seemed to be awake and hugged Guan Ling's neck.

Her eyes were obviously dull, and she had indeed drank a lot. Guan Ling put her down and taking advantage of others' danger was not Guan Ling's way of establishing himself.

"Why are you running?" Dong Xuan pouted and leaned toward Guan Ling's face, her big eyes flashing, and she was so close that Guan Ling could feel the other person's breath and the smell of alcohol, "It's really not possible to fall in love. May I?"

"There is no regret medicine in the world." Guan Ling did not answer directly.

"Oh..." The other party was obviously a little unhappy, "I knew it."

Guan Ling grabbed her hand and it was still around his neck.

Who would have thought that although the other party was thin and weak, he was very strong and directly pulled Guan Ling on the bed.

"If you don't give me love," Dong Xuan snorted, "then give me happiness!"

Ok……

Guan Ling decided to let others take advantage of him.

Don't tell me, your throat is moist after drinking!The other side is wild.

A gift from my sister, hey, Guan Ling also found happiness.

Next door to the courtyard is a 70-year-old man who was a geologist a long time ago. He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that the North China Plain seismic zone had ruptured.
